On December 9, 2025, the Board of Directors of Ally Financial Inc. (“Ally”) adopted a share repurchase program authorizing Ally to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) under a multi-year share repurchase program without a set expiration date (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Ally may begin repurchasing shares of Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Program during the fourth quarter of 2025. The Share Repurchase Program enables Ally to acquire shares of Common Stock through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through a Rule 10b5-1 plan, at the discretion of management and on terms (including quantity, timing, and price) that management determines to be advisable. Actions in connection with the Share Repurchase Program will be subject to various factors, including Ally’s capital and liquidity positions, accounting and regulatory considerations, Ally’s financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital, the trading price of Ally’s Common Stock, and general market conditions. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate Ally to acquire a specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be extended, modified, or discontinued at any time.
